I'm so out of my comfort zone....

I've got some work going on in the inside, I'm trying to learn contentment in ALL things.... Not easy!
Doing the "nice", "pretty" and "comfortable" things is just SO much easier.....
. But getting into a smelly truck loaded with people and smelly fish, doing shopping in a town that has NOTHING on your list and trying to converse in a language that is totally foreign! I then needed the loo.....mmmm, I'm not going there, your imagination can! Yip we went to our closest town today (official business)....


Now let me find the blessings instead of the grumblings....
The view all the way there was amazing.

I'm learning a new language.
I'm eating strange things! ( nibbled on a rock today,  they sell it near the garlic, it's for woman's health they told  me, it's like eating chalk, must be a form of calcium)
I have eyes to see all these new experiences...
I have ears to hear some really new bird sounds....
I have health and fitness to work in a very remote part of the world...
I have an adventurous husband who isn't afraid of new challenges! Now tell me, would you find that a blessing or a curse?

  1. You'd miss a touch of adrenaline G! It's a mixed blessing indeed. Tete in the early days, surely?
